Common questions.

New adopters and shelter partners ask these most.

We aggregate live adoption listings from real shelters and foster networks across Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba into one searchable place. Each dog and cat profile links directly to the rescue, where you apply. We never run breeder ads and never charge adopters.

For broader national resources on responsible adoption and animal welfare, see Humane Canada, the national federation of SPCAs and humane societies.
